Bug Description

This is http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=274953 . Aptitude asks
for "O/n" (stands for "Oui/non", ie "Yes/no" in French) but will only accept 'y'
or 'n' keys. This bug is marked fixed-in-experimental in Debian... maybe you can
patch the French translation if you don't ship hoary with the experimental
version...

I just looked over the code in aptitude experiment and it looks like it will
still prompt for "y/n" in the commandline part of aptitude. It looks like the
"fixed in experimental" means that only the fr.po file is updated?

That's right (it seems Daniel Burrows intends to use the "yes_key" string in a
later version). Here's the relevant patch:
